Resumo: | The digital transformation has driven a more assertive absorption of external information and knowledge in all economic activities, especially in the low technological intensity sector, where competition has been fierce. In this way, the use of information and knowledge can provide companies with higher performance before its competitors. Thus, this study seeks to verify the effect of absorptive capacity (ACAP) on the financial performance of Brazilian and Portuguese companies that operate in low technological intensity sectors. The study is part of initial research that addresses ACAP in sectors that do not release innovations in the market. A survey was carried out based on validated scales, but adapted to the low technology sector. Then, a new validation of the scales was carried out and a t-test was performed to check if there are differences and regression analysis to answer the hypotheses. The results showed that ACAP has an effect on financial performance, both in the Brazilian and Portuguese context, being higher in Portuguese companies. In addition, it was also shown that the two dimensions of ACAP have different influences on financial performance, when considering the two contexts. It can be concluded that ACAP can be applied in sectors of low technological intensity, as this has an influence over the financial performance of companies. |

Desse modo, o uso de informações e conhecimento pode proporcionar às empresas a obtenção de desempenho superior ao dos concorrentes. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo verificar o efeito da capacidade absortiva (ACAP) no desempenho financeiro de empresas brasileiras e portuguesas que atuam em setor de baixa intensidade tecnológica. O estudo faz parte de pesquisas iniciais que abordam a ACAP em setores que não lançam inovações no mercado. Foi realizada uma survey baseada em escalas validadas, mas adaptadas ao setor de baixa intensidade tecnológica. Com isso, procedeu-se à nova validação das escalas, à realização de teste t para verificar se existem diferenças e análise de regressão para responder às hipóteses. Os resultados evidenciaram que a ACAP exerce efeito nodesempenho financeiro, tanto no contexto brasileiro quanto no contexto português, sendo maior em empresas portuguesas. Além disso, também se evidenciou que as duas dimensões da ACAP exercem influências de forma diferente sobre o desempenho financeiro, quando consideramos os doiscontextos. Pode-se concluir que a ACAP pode ser aplicada em setores de baixa intensidade tecnológica, pois este exerce influência sobre o desempenhofinanceiro das empresas.FUCAPE Business Shool2021-07-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo revisado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://www.bbronline.com.br/index.php/bbr/article/view/66310.15728/bbr.2021.18.5.4Brazilian Business Review; Vol. 18 No. 5 (2021): September to October 2021; 537-560Brazilian Business Review; v. 18 n. 5 (2021): Setembro a Outubro de 2021; 537-5601808-23861807-734Xreponame:BBR.
